Project mention: Calibre – New in Calibre 7.0 | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-18

Using Homebrew Cask for Calibre actually makes the problem worse because the download is consistently very slow for some people. For me, it took around an hour the last time I had it installed on my Mac.

• homebrew-bundle

  27 5,132 8.8 Ruby

  📦 Bundler for non-Ruby dependencies from Homebrew, Homebrew Cask and the Mac App Store.

  

Project mention: How do you setup a new Mac? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-28

I maintain a Brewfile (https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-bundle) which contains the majority of the non-project specific applications that I like to install on any new Mac:

https://github.com/jonahgeorge/dotfiles/tree/main

What's really nice is the `cask` & `mas` keywords allow you to install .dmg files & directly from the App Store.

---

While its not included in there yet, I've been experimenting with maintaining a private Homebrew tap which contains my ~/bin directory as opposed to shell aliases.

• homebrew-cask-fonts

  6 2,873 10.0 Ruby

  🖋 Casks of Ｆ🅾𝓝𝐓𝚂

  

Project mention: SN Pro Typeface | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-23

Tobias here. Seems like `homebrew/cask-fonts` is the best way to go for Homebrew, but even the repo maintainers suggest that submission to Google Fonts is their desired method to be included [1]. Once / if SN Pro garners more mainstream popularity we will start supporting more methods of distribution.

  Emacs Plus formulae for the Homebrew package manager

Project mention: Flakes aren't real and cannot hurt you: using Nix flakes the non-flake way | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-09

I am intrigued by this line in the description:

"Super Fast Emacs: Bleeding edge Emacs that fixes itself, thanks to a community overlay"

Could you possibly tell me (or link to the explanation) what's special about that Emacs instance? (I'll update this comment if I find a link myself)

I use this homebrew cask and have been very happy with it thus far, but I'm always up for some new exploration. https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus

  Homebrew Tap of HashiCorp products and tools (by hashicorp)

  

Project mention: Homebrew deprecate and add caveat for HashiCorp | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-08

Note for whatever it is worth that the Homebrew-owned version rebuilds these from source -- https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/139538/files#.... This is also typical in the Linux packaging ecosystem, but typically involving packaging dependencies explicitly too, which is likely why Vault &co never landed in a distro's package set prior to the license change.
